    Well I don’t think that’s very fair.  You could say that about any character dying on this show now then.  But they have proven that dead can in fact be dead when they want it to be.  Example, Robin Hood.  They obliterated him.  With Emma, they could make something up like Saviors can’t be brought back once they have served their purpose or something.  If you are at the point of thinking that if Emma died, then so what…well I’m not sure why you still enjoy watching the show.  That would certainly ruin it for me.

    How many of us actually believe that they’ll permanently kill off Emma, though? The main character of the show? I just find that very hard to believe. I do think that she COULD die, in a sacrificial saviorish fashion, but saviors in media are also more often than not resurrected.

    That’s what I think, more or less, except it’s not Emma’s dark nature it’s her insecure nature, the one that puts up walls when she is hurt or scared. I think if Emma gets split like Regina it won’t be he and the Dark Swan, it’ll be our Emma and basically her insecurities in bodily form.

    The idea of characters splitting themselves into good and evil versions, so that the good side can absolutely demolish the evil, seems like such a horribly doomed strategy that I think there must be more to this season’s theme, like acceptance and balance is the only real solution.

    Or was Hades lying….muahahah.

    Sorry.

    That’s kind of my point though, they’ve shattered dead is dead forever on this show unless the writers absolutely want someone to stay dead for other story reasons. And Emma is still someone they like writing, someone they enjoy playing with, and she’s still the life blood of this show. Death doesn’t hold any sort of sway on this show anymore because unless the writers are bored there is a permanent way to bring them back now.

    I do think that she COULD die, in a sacrificial saviorish fashion, but saviors in media are also more often than not resurrected.

    She could absolutely but like you allude to–there’s probable and possible. It’s possible Emma will die…but it’s not very probable. And I would say there is even a greater chance of her dying if they hadn’t just done her katabasis. But they did it–for an entire season, first as a metaphor and then literally.
